[TYPO3-english] Extending FrontendUser (tx_extbase_type)

[Sergio Catalá]

Hi list,

I have extended the "FrontendUser" model in my own extension. My model 
classname is called "FrontendUser" too, and I am using namespaces in the 
class.

I would like to setup properly the "record type" for the "fe_users" 
record every time a user of my model is created, as I understood I 
should do that for my repository (extended from 
\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Repository\FrontendUserRepository) to find my 
"fe_users" records and not all types.

In my TS setup I map my new extended class to fe_users table like this:

config.tx_extbase.persistence.classes {
     Company\MyExtension\Domain\Model\FrontendUser {
         mapping {
             tableName = fe_users
             recordType = Company\MyExtension\Domain\Model\FrontendUser
         }
         newRecordStoragePid = my_pid
     }
}

My new records are saved in the pid I define, they are mapped in the 
"fe_users" table, BUUUUT the recordType is not correct.

In my Configuration/TCA/FrontendUser.php file, I do this:

$TCA['fe_users']['columns'][$TCA['fe_users']['ctrl']['type']]['config']['items'][] 
= 
array('LLL:EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xml:fe_users.tx_extbase_type.Tx_MyExtension_Domain_Model_FrontendUser','Company\MyExtension\Domain\Model\FrontendUser');

But this new entry doesn't appear in the field. The label in the 
locallang_db.xml is correct too.

In my Page TSConfig I setup the storage pid like this:

plugin.tx_myextension {
     persistence {
         storagePid = my_pid
     }
}

But it can't find the records in my repository. I still have to 
setRespectStoragePage to FALSE in the querySettings of my 
FrontendUserRepository. I would like to get rid of this and setup things 
properly.

What am I doing wrong? Am I mixing concepts?

Regards,
Sergio
